When “FOCUS” is Critical

Posted on February 26, 2017 by aggie brooks

The University of North Texas is one of my clients and last year I had the honor of doing step and repeat pix of people with Mayor Rudy Giuliani in downtown Dallas. At the end of the shoot, Mayor Giuliani said (to me) he ALWAYS likes to get/give a picture with the photographer (and photo assistant) , so I proceeded to hand my camera over into the “trusted hands” of his body guard and gave him brief instructions about composition and most importantly, how to FOCUS. His body guard took two pictures and Mayor Giuliani said (to me) “just double check to make sure you are pleased with the pictures” …. I took a look at them and saw THIS … and didn’t have the heart to tell him how out of focus they were. He said “… are WE good?!” I said “…they look GREAT!!” He said “Are you SURE?!” I said “Yes Sir, we are done with the picture-taking part of your meeting here …”

I believe life is all about making memories and not sweating the small stuff – even when you are standing right next to someone like Mayor Rudy Giuliani. ; )

An EPIC location for PIX

I happen to live in such a unique space in downtown Dallas that lends itself GREAT for photography. Southside on Lamar has the best culture and coolest vibe.
Was cool to photograph these EPIC film makers.

Today was so SUPER SPECIAL. We (Gateway Church Frisco) got to go all over Frisco Texas today to the first responders and pray with them, give them a tub full of goodies and to just simply THANK them for all they do.

I LOVED it and the opportunity to be a part of something bigger than myself.

Had another FUN shoot with Altair

Posted on February 29, 2016 by aggie brooks

Last week at Altair Global …
We had another COOL opportunity to help them with a SUPER FUN campaign for their Annual Circle of Excellence Event. The excitement with THIS shoot was that they needed their final video same day, so it added a sense of synergy in the air.
So here you see our on-location editing suite. ; )
We had a GREAT time story-telling “Round 2” of the Circle of Excellence process.
Got to enjoy the cupcakes that were being provided too — YUM!
